Three years ago, when my RA was at its worst, I never would have thought that I could write a post like this one. My flares were so frequent that they didn’t feel like a ‘flare’! I would have a flare up of a knee one week and then next week it would be my […]

I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to try making a Paleo snack bar! In my pre-paleo days, I used to make these ‘no bake’ breakfast bars and also a baked version of breakfast bars which I still make for my children. I have been meaning to try making a Paleo version for the longest […]

‘Mom, I don’t know about this…is it going to be good? I mean Nutella is so good! Why can’t we have just that?’ ‘Have you checked the ingredients list for Nutella? Refined Sugar is the first ingredient! And then there is skim milk too. Two ingredients that mess up your metabolism and digestion’! “Anyways, let […]

There is no escaping the heat for me. I just came back from India where the temps were hovering in the 90 s even though it had also been pouring cats and dogs most days. And then I get back to the US and it hits 90 three days in a row. And then our […]
